Correct Answer: The rubber ball suffers a greater change in momentum


Solution : The correct option is The rubber ball suffers a greater change in momentum.

When a metal ball and a rubber ball of the same mass hit a wall with the same velocity, the rubber ball rebounds while the metal ball doesn't. This happens because the rubber ball changes direction and experiences a greater change in momentum.
